The roaches scatter when light is shone on them.

A watchdog organization filed a complaint Monday accusing the University of Hawaii of unlawfully withholding public records that reveal whether climate activists and legal advocates influence climate lawsuits.

The Patriots Foundation (TPF), an Iowa-based nonprofit, alleges the university improperly denied five public records requests under Hawaii’s Uniform Information Practices Act.

The University prevented access to professors’ communications and event records thats reveals climate activists, advocacy groups and university-affiliated scholars coordinating efforts to influence judges handling climate lawsuits through judicial education programs.

According to the complaint, TPF sought University of Hawaii records on communications involving professors, climate law groups, and judges to check if “judicial education” programs influenced climate litigation. The university allegedly denied some requests without proper legal basis and once reversed an approval.

The records include faculty exchanges with climate litigation organizations, climate law event materials, and a lecture by retired Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Michael Wilson (appointed by former Gov. Neil Abercrombie). Central to the probe is the Environmental Law Institute’s Climate Judiciary Project, which TPF claims framed programs promoting climate litigation as neutral education.

As it turns out, more than a dozen judges engaged in numerous activities with climate organizations backed by the CCP, discussing inventive legal approaches aimed at blocking the Trump administration’s energy policies.

When the Chinese Communist Party isn’t busy infiltrating U.S. universities through Confucius Institutes, flying spy balloons for surveillance, mapping sensitive locations with aircraft, or trying to buy land near critical infrastructure via shell companies, it turns to environmentalists to sway—and even bribe—judges.
